Banlangen Keli

Just returned from a week of classes for my MBA, and managed to catch myself a bit of a sore thoat. I’m not a big fan of the chemical remedies, and avoid them if I can. But I did get ahold of some Chinese herbal medicine that works wonders. Stuff is called Banlangen Keli and did wonders to pump up my energy and give some temp relief. Just add hot water.

Description – Brown granules. Sweet and slightly bitter in taste.

Ingredients – Radix isatidis (Isatis Tinctoria L.). Non-medical ingredients: sugar, dextrin.

Category – Non-prescription cold medicine

Indications – To remove toxic heat, counteract toxic effect, cool the blood, heal swollen and sore throat. Effective on influenza.

Dosage – Take orally. One to two packets each time, 3 to 4 times a day.

So I will either head to Chinatown to find the stuff or maybe get some online from HK for a buck and a half or from the States for 7.
